Android Posting issues

Anyone else have problems posting using android? I can't have paragraphs in my post as irreversible otherwise the text jumpsls around and large gaps are automatically inserted. The page often freezes and I lose what I was posting.

Yeah similar here. I find that turning my phone off and back on (rebooting?) sorts it until the next time.

Yes. Me too. And there are features (such as searching for only the OPs posts) which aren't available on android

Hi there @Mynamehaschanged89 . Just checking in to see if this is still an issue after a phone reboot. If so, can you let us know what sort of phone you're using the app on? And could you tell us more about what's happening when? Sounds like the gaps are appearing when you put a paragraph break in? Is there anything in particular that seems to cause the app to freeze?

Hi. I have a samsung. I am unable to type a post with paragraph breaks in it, the paragraphs start to automatically move down the page ie large gaps appear as I type. When this happens, the cursor then starts to jump around as I am trying to type. If I type a long post then the screen will freeze and I lose what I had typed.

I have rebooted the phone on many occasions, but it still happens. I also don't have the option to edit posts, it seems this is now possible as I see the 'edited' word appear on some posts.

As a workaround I have to first type my post in a different app on my phone e.g. notes and then copy and paste into MN.

I have typed this post on my PC !

Just a thought....have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling the MN app?

Mynamehaschanged89 · 27/09/2023 11:48

I don't use the app, didn't even know there was an app ! Will give it a go. Thanks.

I have the same issue and also on Samsung. The quote function won't work for me either.

Sorry to hear you're having such a frustrating time with this. We think it may well be a cache problem on your browser, which should be fairly easy to sort from your end.

If you don't know how to clear your cache, you can find instructions on how to do it here: http://www.wikihow.com/Clear-Your-Browser%27s-Cache

If that doesn't sort the problem out, please don't hesitate to come back to us and we'll have another look into how to solve this.

@Mynamehaschanged89 can we quickly double-check if you're using Android web to access the site? We had a previous issue where the Grammarly keyboard was causing issues with the cursor jumping around, highlighting text, and adding rogue paragraphs. If so, let us know and we can show you how to fix it.

This irks me too as used to be able to do this

Likeaburstcouch · 27/09/2023 16:51

As an android user I gave up using the app years ago! I use the web version as the app had a new problem every time I opened it

Just to add, I use android Samsung on chrome and have no issues. Just in case this helps you pin point the problem.
